High School Musical, an animated Monsters Inc series, a live-action Marvel show, and aStar Wars title are in the works on the TV side of things, with 10-episode seasons currently expected to cost between $25m and $35m – or up to $100m if "exceptionally ambitious".

As for movies, Anna Kendrick's Christmas film Noelle (below) and Magic Camp with Adam Devine will arrive on the streaming service, while future projects include a Lady and the Tramp re-telling, Don Quixote, The PaperMagician, Stargirl and Togo.

On top of that, there are a number of other films listed as "priority developments", namely a remake of 3 Men and a Baby, a live-action Sword in the Stone, and Timmy Failure from Spotlight director Tom McCarthy.

That date was announced by Disney chairman Bob Iger on a quarterly conference call with the investors, along with the news that the streaming service will include at least two live-action Star Wars shows.

"We are close to being able to reveal at least one of the entities that is developing that for us," he told investors. "Because the deal isn't completely closed, we can't be specific about that.

"I think you'll find the level of talent… on the television front will be rather significant as well."

Previously, Iger tipped that Disney is also working on brand new Marvel shows and an episodic spin-off of the High School Musical franchise for the launch of its new media platform.

In addition to TV shows and movies specifically made for the service, future big-screen releases like Toy Story 4, the Lion King remake and Frozen 2 will ultimately end up streaming exclusively as well.
